Interesting Big Ten Tweet

[CL82]

Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in.

Bear in mind, Butch inferred in the game thread that we had the game won on Sunday with 25 seconds left, leading by two and South Florida with the ball. We can't trust someone who is clearly guilty of an attempted mojocide.

In fairness, the court will be lenient on him, since we won in overtime, and it's a non-postseason year where we need to be focused on saving our mojo (and let it collect interest). He's lucky.

Can we label an "unreliable tweet" a? Just wondering out loud....

Or...maybe a "twhat?"

If he's right, it's by accidence, not by knowledge.

That's right off of my last performance evaluation.

Well done Chin, well done.

I did a little bit of research. This tweet came from @ M H ver3 this morning. (There were 2 tweets about it sent out). Not sure how reliable someone from West Virginia is....they can't even read there.

I am not surprised by this analysis one bit. I said it before, marketing ourselves is a must.

I'm not surprised either. But if the fact that UConn basketball owns NYC really is a surprise to people outside the tri-state area, then we clearly have a marketing problem.

For you that dont follow he claims to be an insider on the expansion process. Has been tweeting alot of claims over the last several months. Not debating if he is legit or not but just passing on the info.

Delaney presented some information on demographics, ratings, and market penetration that was compiled by a market research firm. Uconn was the surprise school that opened a lot of eyes. They creamed BC in every major category.Other than ND, Uconn owns NYC in bball

Thankfully, I do think we have an administration in place that is more active in marketing our school and athletic department. But we cannot forget, we fans/alumni can also make a huge difference in perception, as well.

Did anyone see the WVU/Texas basketball game @ WVU last night? The upper deck was almost completely empty.

That made me actually 'lol'. Thankfully I am at my house at not browsing The 'Yard at work...like usual!

Truth be told that should be the banner above the Boneyard.

These west virginia conference realignment people put out tweets and posts about whatever school is next up in the conference realignment game, in order to get themselves more page views and twitter followers. This guy has re-posted stuff from the UConn CR board in the past. He has zero credibility (for example had no clue about Rutgers/Maryland before it happened), other than the part about posting every possible scenario so that he can say he was right afterwards. And yet whenever he posts anything connected to UConn the 'Yard goes ape.

*shrug*

 

[jleves]

You're all missing the key part of this, no matter the reliability of the twitterer. The stat is for bball. Nobody doubts what UConn bball brings to the table. Hell, the womens bball team is a better tv cash cow than BC mens bball.

Conference realignment is about football and the bball stat means nothing.

If the football team commanded the NYC market equally to the bball team, we would have been first out, not last.

 

[homunculus]

But the stat could be used to project what UConn could be in NYC for football. It's not all about the state of things right now. The B1G isn't afraid to help a football program grow (or else they wouldn't have invited MD and RU). What team, with the right growth, has the best chance to really be NYC's football team? That's the question the B1G has to be asking, and hopefully the best answer to that, if influenced by the basketball ratings, is UConn. Unless you really honestly think that they believe they've got NYC covered with Rutgers alone.

Both teams are terrible.

UConn is not on the Big Ten's radar.

Is that your opinion or fact

Link looks pretty cool, doesn't it? Scroll down to the last question for 12/26/12. Isn't the questioner a member of this message board?

I think it'll come down to the Battle of UNC. The Big 10 and the SEC duke it out over UNC (and Duke, no pun intended). I'd favor the SEC in that battle. We'll find out.

I should also add that the conclusion this twitter posted was reached as far back as 2010.

Boston College (ACC)

2010 Final verdict: If the Big Ten wanted to combine BC with three or four other Eastern schools, it’s a possibility. However, BC’s case for inclusion is less strong singularly than Rutgers, Syracuse or Connecticut.
